Why the study?
Depressive symptoms are associated with post-stroke cognitive impairment, but gender-specific characteristics in the relationship between changes in depression severity and cognitive performance remain unclear.
Women may be more vulnerable to the relationship between depressive symptoms and cognitive performance after stroke, specifically regarding verbal fluency.

May support gender-specific post-stroke depression monitoring; leaves open whether targeting depression improves cognition differently by sex.
